Dex couldn’t quite remember the name of what they were supposed to be reading, so he looked down at his books, sorting through them until he found the right title. “Medea,” he told her. Unlike some of his classmates, Dex actually did read through the assigned reading. It wasn’t like he had much else to do at the institute, not being involved in any extracurricular activities or the like.
When he looked back up at Ava, he found himself staring at her again. Look, this was the first pretty girl he’d spoken to in years and he had no idea how to react. “I like your hair,” he finally blurted out, noting that for some odd reason she had three pigtails instead of just two.
